Job summary

Maven Ventures is seeking a product leader to own strategy and execution for technical platforms used across teams. You will collaborate with product, engineering, and operations to design reusable capabilities and prioritize investments that balance immediate delivery with long-term flexibility.

You will define metrics, drive decisions, and ensure a strong customer focus—even for internal users—while guiding build-versus-buy tradeoffs and rollout plans.

Qualifications

• Experience owning product strategy and execution on technical products and platforms, or shared systems used by multiple teams.
• Strong technical fluency. You can reason about APIs, data flows, system dependencies, and failure modes, and work closely with engineers on consequential tradeoffs.
• Strong analytical skills. You can investigate problems independently, define meaningful metrics, and evaluate the impact of platform investments.
• Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to align teams around priorities and make difficult decisions when their needs compete.
• High ownership and sound judgment in a fast-moving environment. You are comfortable moving between long-term strategy and hands-on execution without adding unnecessary process.
• A focus on customer outcomes and product quality, including when your immediate users are internal teams.

Responsibilities

• Understand the needs of the teams that use our platforms and the customers who depend on them.
• Turn recurring needs into shared services, tools, and workflows that reduce duplicated work.
• Work directly with product, engineering, and operational teams to understand workflows and anticipate capabilities they will need next.
• Prioritize platform investments across new product enablement, reliability, efficiency, and technical debt.
• Define and track success through business impact, reliability, cost to serve, and reduced manual work.
• Partner closely with engineering on tradeoffs, build-versus-buy decisions, and rollout plans; write clear requirements and drive delivery from problem definition through launch and iteration.
